Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging of the sacroiliac joints is now frequently performed to help identify patients with early axial spondyloarthritis. However, differential diagnoses exist and should be recognized. The aim of this article is to review the most frequent differential diagnoses that may mimic inflammatory sacroiliitis in clinical practice.

Highlights

  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the sacroiliac joints (SIJ) is frequently performed to help identify patients with early axial spondyloarthritis before the in Reading the Sacroiliac Joints on development of the radiographic features of sacroiliitis

  • Is highly suggestive of sacroiliitis is included in the imaging arm of the ASAS criteria https://doi.org/10.3390/

Summary

Introduction

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the sacroiliac joints (SIJ) is frequently performed to help identify patients with early axial spondyloarthritis (axSpa) before the in Reading the Sacroiliac Joints on development of the radiographic features of sacroiliitis. Along with at least one other feature of axSpa [1,2]. The lesion definitions indicating signs diagnostics11112001 of activity (bone marrow edema (BME), capsulitis, joint space enhancement, inflammation at the site of erosion, enthesitis, joint space fluid) or structural changes (erosion, fat lesion, Academic Editor: sclerosis, ankylosis, non-bridging bone bud) have been standardized by the ASA-MRI. SIJ abnormalities on MRI in patients without axSpa [4,5].
